Everyone loves an upset, and we’re always treated to some during the NCAA Tournament. Might we be in store for one or two Thursday night?

We just may be, according to The Linemakers on Sporting News. We have our eyes on No. 13 seed South Dakota State, an 11.5-point underdog vs. No. 4 Michigan in the South, and No. 11 Belmont, which is getting 4.5 points against No. 6 Arizona in the West.

We have Louisville rated 32 points better than N.C. A&T, but the line comes in about where we expected. You simply don't see point spreads of 30-plus in the Tournament. Still, we're typically not wild about getting involved in games with spreads this high.

South Dakota State can play, and if you don't know Jackrabbits guard Nate Wolters yet, you will after he drops 30 on Michigan. We expect a high-scoring affair between these two offensively-gifted clubs, so we have lean on the OVER. We also see SDSU hanging around with a chance to win at the end.

Richie Baccellieri continues to take umbrage with the selection committee, reminding them that they're not supposed to match up teams that have already played against one another (UNLV won that game, 76-75, on a tip-in as a 1.5-point dog). UNLV is more highly seeded than it should be and plays in a de facto road game against the Cal Bears in San Jose.

These 5-12 matchups are usually ripe for upsets, but being without point guard Alex Abreu (suspended after being arrested on drug charges) does not bode well for the Zips. VCU, with its "Havoc" defense, is the best team in the country at creating turnovers. Akron is also solid defensively, ranked 33rd in the nation in terms of points per possession.

We've seen No. 13 seeds beat No. 4s before. In fact, the last time Syracuse was a 4-seed in the tournament, the were sent home early by Vermont. Now, the Orange have to travel all the way across the country and lay a hefty number to a tough Montana team.
